Meatout Day

As I was uploading my pictures for this post, I realized I ate an all vegetarian menu today! So, I am taking part in a belated Meatout Day . This was originally on March 20 and is a day that this group asks for us to "kick the meat habit" for at least a day and eat a diet of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Done! I'm just a few (okay, five!) days late. Better late than never they say...

After a 30 min. run (all I had time for) this morning, I made a yummy breakfast of hummus-filled eggs. Remember the first time I made these? They really are terrific and packed with protein staying power. I had a fuji apple on the side for a 3 POINT breakfast...

I had to take Gram to a meeting at her new housing community and after that, we met up with my Mom for lunch at Ruby's Diner. I ordered the Vegwich which was avocado slices, lowfat cheese, tomato, lettuce, spinach and nonfat mayo on a whole wheat bun. I also got a side salad with lite Italian dressing. It was satisfying; nothing to write home about taste-wise though. It was a good healthy 9 POINT choice compared to some of the other menu items (Kobe sliders!!!!!)...

When we finished lunch, we went bathing suit shopping. While in the dressing room, I experienced severe trauma from which I will not recover without very expensive therapy. Nuf said.

I had the nerve to eat a snack after my shopping experience. It was healthy though, so I guess it's o.k. - Weight Watchers Berries and Cream Yogurt, 1/2 c. blueberries and 1/4 c. Fiber One for 2 POINTS...

More vegetarian-ness...dinner was 2 oz. barbeque baked tofu , 3 oz. sweet potato fries (with ketchup -my new fave!) and a bit of super garlicky spinach (sorry, hubby). A delicious 6 POINT dinner...

And for dessert....BROWNIE!! I wrestled with this one after my traumatic shopping, but these are legal ...

Lyndsay, a Weight Watchers rep, sent these out to me and I couldn't wait to break into them! The box contains 4 individually wrapped brownies with each brownie being 120 calories, 3.5 gr. fat and 4 gr. fiber. Only 2 POINTS and a decent size...

And nice thickness...

But, how do they taste??? Well, let's just say, that I am lucky that only 4 come to a box and that they are individually wrapped! They were chewy squares of goodness with bits of mini chocolate chips throughout. Very satisfying. I chose to eat mine plain tonight, but it would be great topped with whipped topping and strawberries or with a scoop of fat free ice cream. So many options....so little time...

before I have to wear an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny........... one piece bathing suit with a turtleneck and long sleeves attached and a cute matching skirt that goes to my ankles :(
